According to a report by Bloomberg , the license to operate two of Portugal’s biggest casinos – Casino de Lisboa in Lisbon and Casino do Estoril in Cascais – expires at the end of December, with the Ho family one of two companies to submit bids for a new 15-year concession. It is unclear who the competing bidder is, however Estoril Sol SGPS SA, which counts the Ho family as its main shareholder and Pansy Ho as its Chairperson, said in a filing that “the competing offer had a higher value than the offer presented by our own subsidiary.” Estoril Sol’s 57.8% controlling stake is held by Finansol, a subsidiary of Sociedade de Turismo e Diversões de Macau, SA (STDM) that was listed on the Euronext exchange in February 1986. STDM is also controlling shareholder in Macau concession-holder SJM Resorts – operator of Grand Lisboa and Grand Lisboa Palace, among others. 葡萄牙政府 今年進行賭牌重新招標，由於對手的出價 更高，何鴻燊家族在葡萄牙賭場的經營權面臨危機。 何鴻燊家族在葡萄牙經營Estoril-Sol(愛都太陽) 博彩集團，分別在里斯本及里維埃拉經營Casino de Lisboa及Casino do Estoril兩間賭場。其賭場經營權 將在今年到期，現時由Estoril Sol主席由何超瓊擔任。 葡萄牙在8月15日就賭場經營權進行重新招標， 新的賭場經營期為期15年。 據報導指出，葡萄牙政府收到兩份標書，一份是 Estoril-Sol的子公司，另一份政府並沒有透露名字。 Estoril Sol於較早前表示：「唯一競爭對手出價 更高，當地政府正檢視標書。」不過葡萄牙經濟部暫 時未評論有關事件。 《彭博》指出，由於對手的報價更高，這可能會 令Estoril-Sol失去賭場經營權。 Estoril-Sol的57.8%控股權，由何鴻燊家族持有 的澳門旅遊娛樂股份有限公司旗下的子公司Finansol 持有，於1986年2月14日於泛歐交易所上市。
